Granted, Gilbert Gottfried comes off as a bit obnoxious when he stops by the Howard Stern show. And even as the voice of the parrot in Aladdin. But he's very subdued when he performs his stand-up act. Sometimes. OK, never. But he's frickin' funny. Assuming you can handle the whole obnoxious thing. And for goodness sakes, don't heckle him, or he'll make you sorry (and probably very embarrassed).
